And I am also on record with the statement; “Again, in our family, we chose to take responsibility for our actions.”

We don’t blame others for our failures or shortcomings — It’s a Christian thing.

What actions of the home-owners justify their losing their home? And why should this take place with no trial much less any finding of guilt beyond reasonable doubt?

No. We sit back, secure in our smug superiority knowing that our $h!t doesn't stink and our kids are perfect little angels.

There’s no collective “we” when it comes to criminal matters. The family didn’t commit the crime, the child did.

If the government wanted to confiscate the kid’s iPod, I wouldn’t have much objection (if they used proper due process). That’s not the situation we are talking about though. We are talking about the government stealing property from third parties who have not been convicted of any crime.

Which means the government could do this to any innocent person, on a whim.
